So the hyperactivity
causing insomnia is cured with a substance that
causes hyperactivity. Thus the natural flow of energy
within the body is restored.
History:
References to the Law of Similars can be found
in ancient writings and in the traditions of native
medicines, dating back to the Egyptians and
Hippocrates. These principles were re-discovered over
200 years ago by the German physician Samuel
Hahnemann (1755-1843) who developed them into a
science, which he called Homeopathy.
This new system quickly spread throughout Europe
and beyond. From Queen Victoria to the late Queen
Mother, members of Britain’s Royal Family have used
homeopathy. By the late 1800s, homeopathy had
become one of the most popular healing systems
in North America. Homeopathy declined with the
advent of pharmaceutical drugs and other modern
therapies in the early 20th century. In recent times,
many people have returned to this alternate form of
medicine. It is now an accepted form of medicine in
many European and Latin American countries, and India.
How does it work?
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from diluted
substances such as plants, minerals, or animal
products, which are repeatedly diluted and
succussed (vigorously shaken). As this standardized
process of dilution and succussion continues, the
remedy becomes more powerful. It is this process
that imprints the healing energy of the medicinal
substance throughout the body of water (the
diluent) as if a message is passed on. The message
contains the healing energy. This method is called
potentization and it is the hallmark of all homeopathic
remedies.
The extreme dilution used in the preparation of
homeopathic remedies renders them non-toxic and
safe for everyone of all ages.
There is no current scientific explanation for how
these remedies work. Just as Aspirin has been used as
a painkiller for over 50 years while scientists continue
to study how it works, homeopathy continues to be
used successfully without a definitive explanation of
the process behind it. Yet the practical health benefits
experienced by millions of people and animals for
over 200 years provide convincing evidence that
homeopathic remedies are effective.
What can Homeopathy treat?
Homeopathy can be effective in treating virtually
any health issue – regardless of whether the origin
is physical, mental, or emotional. Your diagnosis is
much less important than your unique symptoms.
For example, ten people with severe headaches
can describe ten different sets of symptoms, each
requiring a different remedy. By matching a remedy
to your particular symptoms, a homeopath is treating
you, not the disease.
A well-chosen homeopathic remedy can produce
dramatic improvement in acute conditions (e.g. viral
infections, physical injuries) by significantly reducing
the intensity of symptoms and recovery time. In
chronic conditions homeopathy has proven to be
very effective. Many common children’s complaints
also respond remarkably well to homeopathy.
What happens when you see a homeopath?
Homeopathy involves treating both mind and body,
so time is taken to listen to your emotional and
physical symptoms. To stimulate your body’s own
healing process, a remedy closest to your individual
symptom picture is prescribed. Healing begins from
within your body, strengthening your health and
immune system, without any danger of damaging
side effects.
